Am I alone in finding Aled Jones' new CD creepy? He sings with his young, soprano self. He had a fantastic pure high voice as a youngster when he was a chorister and so on, his adult tenor voice is pleasant enough, but the two together? Not sure at all

I loved hearing Aled as a young boy, but I too felt it just didn't quite work ,and had a little shiver on hearing it on Classic FM with the two voices together.

Afraid I find Aled Jones creepy full stop. Can't think of anything worse than that CD and his show on Classic is to encircling. Sorry!!

Revis, I'm afraid that I feel exactly as you do, but seeing that he seems to have quite a fair few fans here, I didn't want to upset anyone. Thank you

Heard about it on TV, didn't think it creepy. No more than people singing or playing music with Elvis and didn't Nat King Coles daughter record with her father after he died. Then there are singers singing with themselves.

Thing is, Aled Jones has a weak tenor voice so has to make his dosh by rereleasing the child stuff. He wouldn't make it on his adult voice alone.

Oooh, I think he might do! Loads of middle aged lady followers!

I think he has a lovely light tenor voice. I love the duet idea - lots of people do this. Not a bit creepy! Beautiful singing by Aled young and old. But like any album by the same artist it gets a bit sameish after a while.

He wouldn't make it in serious opera.

Does he want to sing in opera?
